Recurrence-plot (RP) analysis is a graphical tool to visualize and analyze the recurrence of nonlinear dynamic systems. By combining the advantages of the RP and a convolutional neural network (CNN), a fault-classification scheme for planetary gear sets is proposed in this paper. In the proposed approach, a vibration is first picked up from the planetary-gear test rig and converted into an angular-domain quasistationary signal through computed order tracking to eliminate the frequency blur caused by speed fluctuations. Then, the signal in the angular domain is divided into several segments, and each segment is processed by the RP to constitute the training sample. Moreover, a two-dimensional CNN model was developed to adaptively extract faulty features. Experiments on a planetary-gear test rig with four conditions under three operating speeds were carried out. The results of measured vibration demonstrated the validity of CNN and recurrence plot analysis for the fault classification of planetary-gear sets.

Condition monitoring is used to track the unavoidable phases of rolling element bearings in an induction motor (IM) to ensure reliable operation in domestic and industrial machinery. The convolutional neural network (CNN) has been used as an effective tool to recognize and classify multiple rolling bearing faults in recent times. Due to the nonlinear and nonstationary nature of vibration signals, it is quite difficult to achieve high classification accuracy when directly using the original signal as the input of a convolution neural network. To evaluate the fault characteristics, ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) is implemented to decompose the signal into multiple intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) in this work. Then, based on the kurtosis value, insignificant IMFs are filtered out and the original signal is reconstructed with the rest of the IMFs so that the reconstructed signal contains the fault characteristics. After that, the 1-D reconstructed vibration signal is converted into a 2-D image using a continuous wavelet transform with information from the damage frequency band. This also transfers the signal into a time-frequency domain and reduces the nonstationary effects of the vibration signal. Finally, the generated images of various fault conditions, which possess a discriminative pattern relative to the types of faults, are used to train an appropriate CNN model. Additionally, with the reconstructed signal, two different methods are used to create an image to compare with our proposed image creation approach. The vibration signal is collected from a self-designed testbed containing multiple bearings of different fault conditions. Two other conventional CNN architectures are compared with our proposed model. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that the image generated with fault signatures not only accurately classifies multiple faults with CNN but can also be considered as a reliable and stable method for the diagnosis of fault bearings.

The Station logo is a way for a TV station to claim copyright, which can realize the analysis and understanding of the video by the identification of the station logo, so as to ensure that the broadcasted TV signal will not be illegally interfered. In this paper, we design a station logo detection method based on Convolutional Neural Network by the characteristics of the station, such as small scale-to-height ratio change and relatively fixed position. Firstly, in order to realize the preprocessing and feature extraction of the station data, the video samples are collected, filtered, framed, labeled and processed. Then, the training sample data and the test sample data are divided proportionally to train the station detection model. Finally, the sample is tested to evaluate the effect of the training model in practice. The simulation experiments prove its validity.

As one of the important tools of epilepsy diagnosis, the electroencephalogram (EEG) is noninvasive and presents no traumatic injury to patients. It contains a lot of physiological and pathological information that is easy to obtain. The automatic classification of epileptic EEG is important in the diagnosis and therapeutic efficacy of epileptics. In this article, an explainable graph feature convolutional neural network named WTRPNet is proposed for epileptic EEG classification. Since WTRPNet is constructed by a recurrence plot in the wavelet domain, it can fully obtain the graph feature of the EEG signal, which is established by an explainable graph features extracted layer called WTRP block . The proposed method shows superior performance over state-of-the-art methods. Experimental results show that our algorithm has achieved an accuracy of 99.67% in classification of focal and nonfocal epileptic EEG, which proves the effectiveness of the classification and detection of epileptic EEG.

The possibility of application a convolutional neural network to assess the box-office effect of digital images is reviewed. We studied various conditions for sample preparation, optimizer algorithms, the number of pixels in the samples, the size of the training sample, color schemes, compression quality, and other photometric parameters in view of effect on training the neural network. Due to the proposed preliminary data preparation, the optimum of the architecture and hyperparameters of the neural network we achieved a classification accuracy of at least 98%.

BACKGROUND In clinical use of photoplethysmogram, waveform distortion due to motion noise or low perfusion may lead to inaccurate analysis and diagnostic results. Therefore, it is necessary to find an appropriate analysis method to evaluate the signal quality of the photoplethysmogram so that its wide use in mobile healthcare can be further increased. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to develop a machine learning model that could accurately evaluate the quality of a photoplethysmogram based on the shape of the photoplethysmogram and the phase relevance in a pulsatile waveform without requiring a complicated pre-processing. Its performance was then verified. METHODS Photoplethysmograms were recorded for 76 participants (5 minutes for each participant). All recorded photoplethysmograms were segmented for each beat to obtain a total of 49,561 pulsatile segments. These pulsatile segments were manually labeled as 'good' and 'bad' classes and converted to a two-dimensional phase space trajectory image with size of 124 × 124 using a recurrence plot. The classification model was implemented using a convolutional neural network with a two-layer structure. It was verified through a five-fold cross validation. RESULTS As a result, the proposed model correctly classified 48,827 segments out of 49,561 segments and misclassified 734 segments, showing a balanced accuracy of 0.975. Sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive values of the developed model for the test dataset with a ‘bad’ class classification were 0.964, 0.987, and 0.848, respectively. The area under the curve was 0.994. CONCLUSIONS The convolutional neural network model with recurrence plot as input proposed in this study can be used for signal quality assessment as a generalized model with high accuracy through data expansion. It has an advantage in that it does not require a complicated pre-processing or feature detection process. CLINICALTRIAL KCT0002080
